Creating global fixture coordinate systems on the tombstone

The first step to placing parts on the tombstone is to locate a point on the tombstone to position the primary setups of the parts. These coordinate systems are created relative to the tombstone and are called global fixture coordinate systems.

1. Open the Fixture Offset Locations dialog in one of these ways:
   • Click the Fixture ID step in the Steps Toolbox.
   • Click the Fixtures... button in the Tombstone Process Plan dialog.
2. Click the Add button. The Fixture Location wizard opens.
3. Select Create the fixture zero relative to one of the faces of the tombstone and click Next.

   The Fixture ID page opens.

4. Enter the Fixture ID to use for the first face.
5. If you want to set the origin of each face at the same point, select Use the same fixture ID on each orientation.
6. If you want to use a different origin for each face, select Increment the fixture ID for each orientation.
7. Click the Next button.
8. The Fixture Zero Location page opens. Enter the offsets from the left/right edge, top edge and tombstone face.
   Note: These values are for simulation purposes only. When you set up the machine you can locate the origin anywhere on the face that you want.
9. Click the Finish button.

   The fixture offsets you create are displayed on each face of the tombstone with the symbol.

   The Fixture Offset Locations dialog lists the fixture IDs you created.

10. Click OK to accept them.

    The faces that they apply to are shown underneath the fixture IDs.

11. Click OK to accept the settings and close the Tombstone Process Plan dialog.
